August 25- August 29

Welcome to Second Grade!
I am really looking forward to our year together in room 831! Our blog is a great place to check-in on a weekly basis for updated information and events. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!

Twin Lakes Parent/Student Handbook Agreement
Just a reminder that the parent/student handbook agreement page is due by Friday, August 29th. You can return this page with your student in their planner or directly to the office, thank you! 
Accelerated Reader/ Khan Academy
We will be using both of these online programs to enhance our reading and math curriculum. Most students already have an AR account set up and can access it through our school website. I need your permission to set up an account for each student for  Khan Academy. Please return the green half-sheet that was sent home in the welcome packet on the first day of school, thank you!

NO SCHOOL: September 1st
In observance of Labor Day we will not have school on Monday, September 1st. Enjoy the three day weekend!

Scholastic Book Club
If you are interested in purchasing books for your student, I will be sending home an order form each month for Scholastic Book Club. Parents can place an order online or return the order form with their student in their planner. Book orders for the month of September are due on the 2nd.

Back to School Night
Please join us for Back to School Night on Thursday, September 11th. This will be an informal gathering to learn more about what to expect for the school year. We will have two sessions available: 6:30-7:00 p.m. and 7:15- 7:45 p.m.   Both sessions will cover the same information and will be held in our classroom, room 831. Hope to see you there!
